About Alex

Alex is currently in between positions, and is looking for security engineering or solutions architecture positions for on-prem and cloud systems. He has previous experiences with data analyst and technical compliance roles, both of which have contributed to a wider understanding of the information security world.

He enjoys cats, the JPOP group Perfume, TensorFlow neural network projects, Thinkpads, almost any music, and family.

If he’s not working on his day job or tinkering with one of his current projects (below), he often can be found reading law or studying for IT Certifications. (Or, simply resting!)

Currently, efforts are being focused on the CISSP (it’s finally time!), renewing his Azure System Administrator license, and the AWS Systems Administrator license exams.

He also has a few projects which he holds an interest in (although progress is very slow):

• A mail server backend and a mail extension frontend for checking any IMAP connected inbox’s new messages and notifying upon their arrival. (Alex does not use GMail for his personal mail, so he finds most extensions to be deficient in this ability.)
• An idea Alex has had: “What would a Real “AI” Television Commercial look like?” via the Inception v3 Dataset

His previous projects include:

• Thesis research: Using Machine Learning to Predict Risk of Wildfire Damage
• Land Image-Data Assessment: Tracking urban density via satellite imagery
• An unreleased SUICA/PASMO (stored-value mass-transit card) Android Application
• Various assignments for a Coursera series in Cybersecurity.
• A previous website and blog for the PEAK Student Council
• Website for the Global Faculty Development Group

and contributions to:

• QRM, to add Japanese and Netherland bandplan documents

This site was made with the static-website generator Hugo, which is built in Go.

The ‘coder’ theme was used to make this website, and various members from the ‘Engineering Students’ Discord server helped debug some early issues. They have since contributed to some of the site design, header debugging, and resume reviews. Many thanks to them all.

Currently, Forestry CMS is powering this website’s page and post creation.
